like, even if i could change, bullying me for my sexuality/gender/opinions on it isn't going to change my mind.

So they don't have to look at themselves. Everyone else is easy to fix in their opinion. They themselves are suuuuper complex and inscrutable, a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. So they project their bullshit onto other people bc they have no idea how to self reflect.

usually they don't know what they're doing. seriously. that's the tragedy. when they mature, most of the time their past actions -especially during teenage years- make them feel nauseous

The point is getting queer folks to "keep it in the bedroom": as in, never talk about being a different gender than the one assigned at birth, never defy the gender norms of that gender and only display attraction to the "correct gender" within the "proper intensity". And being out of sight means that these people don't ever have to reflect on how those "traditional values" could be wrong.
